In 2014, Barb was selected by the Virginia Commission for the Arts to be one of their Performing Artists, traveling across Virginia telling stories and teaching workshops. The Commission provides funds to help pay for Barb’s visits to Virginia schools. PLEASE contact Barb if you are interested in getting up to half the cost of Barb’s programs paid by VCA. Barb can give you all the information you need to apply for funding. But don’t delay, funding goes quickly. Contact Barb today.

COOL QUOTES

"Barbara, thank you so much!!! Everyone is still talking about what a great time they had...teachers and students! :-) I am thrilled that everyone enjoyed themselves, but I was most pleased with our special needs students...they were engaged the entire time!!! They were laughing, singing, and doing the hand motions alongside the other students...what a blessing that was!!! Thank you again and we look forward to the next time."

SuperDay Special!
